[MR] Fantastic exhibit on Timurid miniatures at the Freer-Sackler Gallery (online and in-person)

[Ellen Badgley]

Greetings to all,

Master Ii and I had the good fortune yesterday of happening across a
truly wonderful exhibition at the Freer-Sackler Gallery in DC:

"Worlds within Worlds: Imperial Paintings from India and Iran"
http://www.asia.si.edu/explore/worlds-within-worlds/

The exhibition comprises three rooms of paintings dating from about
1450 and after.  The interpretation is really excellent, and the
website lets you zoom into many of the paintings in great detail, as
well as listen to period accounts of their subjects.  (One of the
paintings from 1615 actually depicts King James I of England.)

Highly recommended to visit, either in-person or virtually!
